Wider weather episode

Showers and thunderstorms developed in an unstable airmass during the late afternoon of August 11th. Storms mainly developed across the I-40 corridor and shifted south through the evening hours. These storms quickly grew to be severe and produce large hail thanks to colder temperatures in the upper atmosphere. A few storms produced gusty winds and localized wind damage. Efficient rainfall led to high rainfall rates and some localized flash flooding.
